CVE-2020-13757
Last modified
CVE-2020-13757 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Python-RSA before 4.1 ignores leading '\0' bytes during decryption of ciphertext. This could conceivably have a security-relevant impact, e.g., by helping an attacker to infer that an application uses Python-RSA, or if the length of accepted ciphertext affects application behavior (such as by causing excessive memory allocation).. EPSS estimates a 1.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
